How to Block Out Faces in YouTube Videos

This is the easiest way to block out a face for a YouTube video upload.

Hey this is your jolly YouTube expert Derral Eve’s now there’s a lot of hidden and cool features in YouTube one of which gives you the ability to blur out faces and objects right from within YouTube that’s pretty cool now you’re probably thinking why would I even need that well with content ID you know if you have somebody’s logo or someone that you don’t have their permission to be in the video that could be a pretty big nightmare and instead of taking down the video you actually have the ability to just blurt out and guess what voila it’s fixed so in this video I’m gonna show you where that feature actually is and how to actually use it let’s do this Darrell done come let me show you how simple it really is to blur out faces or objects in your youtube videos without even leaving YouTube now what we need to do is find a video that we can do this in so I come to thegeekify guys will come up to the upper right hand corner click on the Avatar icon come down and click on creator studio and what we’re going to do is go find a video that we can actually blur out well I mouse over to the left hand side and click on video manager and once we’re here we’re going to come down and find a specific videos so the video that I’m looking for has some movement such so what you need to do is come to the video we can go head and click on this icon right here and then come down to enhancements this brings up kind of an editor that allows you to do some quick fixes to the video you can do light saturation filters and so on you can speed it up time-lapse trim it even and so on but if you look right here you can see blurring effects so we can actually come here and it can automatically find all the faces if you want to do that so if you want to pour out all the faces you can go ahead and hit apply ok because you have a blur right here on the previous side but if we move it over you can see it’s all blurring out everybody so from the original to the preview so the cool thing about this is what if we want to just blur out an object so we figured out ok we can blur face what if we want to track some on the whole time so you can go ahead and hit edit gonna open up a new little window here and then what you can do is go ahead and select so you just click your mouse hold it down and select so i’m going to select / Joel’s face here and wherever jogos you can see it just tracks where that’s at it’s that simple and the great thing about it is you can track multiple objects so if i wanted to come to a point where see here in in the video itself i’m going to go ahead and track this and I’m gonna go ahead and track the duck or both of those out and you can see wherever we go it’s blurring that out that’s how simple it really is and you can adjust it here too so if if you go from frame to frame you can say okay that’s where it ends you can adjust it here by clicking and holding it down and go from there and once it’s done you go ahead and hit done now once that’s their it does not apply you can either save it as a new video which i would not encourage because you lose all your views or you can just hit save hitting save will then make the changes that are necessary in the video without having to reupload the video or losing all your views alright so that’s pretty simple to actually blur out objects and faces and YouTube now before you go I’d love to hear what you’d like to blur out put it in the comments below and also also I really love to hear your thoughts on what videos i should actually make you know what do you want to learn go ahead and put that in the comments below as well thank you so much for watching this video and have a wonderful and productive day.
